>sure,, >well on occasion when i have play live,(and record) i will bring along >scanning reciever, and i will scan the airwaves for communication (ie >airport traffic, mall security, cops etc,,,) i will come out an RCA on >the VHF reciever, to my jamman,,and then to my mixer(with effects loops >delays, backwards,,,you name it) in most cases the sample of >conversation (ie subject matter, emotions) actually affects the >composition ,,,and takes me in directions i might not if gone,,,(hope >this isnt confusing,,,im sleepy) This is very similar to the DJ 'Scanner' aka Robin Rimbaud who gained notoriety after taping a member of the Royal family's analogue cellphone conversation and using it on one of his records. Live he mixes radio traffic (mainly cell and portable phone conversations , the emphasis on communication and different emotions) with minimalist ambient samples, whilst a film is shown. He has a website but I can't remember the address offhand, but his work is really worth checking out. If you don't have a scanner,radio or poor wireless system :) to hand you can always hide a microphone somewhere to pick up and loop anything your audience is saying, hours of idle amusement and a great way to get less- than enthusiastic audience members to shut up...
